Along with the "Utopia" display in the Meijer Gardens, Grand Rapids, Michigan, there is a sculpture downtown.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yes, cool. but is it just me or is this kinda ugly?

[–] Varyk 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

ugly isn't near the top of the list of things I think about when looking at that statue, but I will say that similar sculptures and paintings in Middle Eastern language are far more pleasing to look at because Western alphabets are so blocky and rigid.

whereas i can look at paintings of Arabic letters all day:
